abstract = {We studied the abandoned mining field in southern Poland using high-resolution lidar images to distinguish the number of mining shaft remains and their morphological diversity. We identified 13,864 remains of mining shafts of various sizes (2–30 m in diameter) and diverse levels of denudation. This allowed us to select 13 mining shafts for detailed study. The radiocarbon dating of charcoal and peat from the shafts indicate three phases of exploitation in the study area: the Roman and early migration period (2nd century b.c.–6th century a.d.), the Middle Ages (6th–14th century a.d.), and the modern period (15th–17th century a.d.). The data on metal ore exploitation in the European Barbaricum is scarce and, in the study area itself, historical written sources indicate the onset of mining only in the 12th century a.d. Therefore, ore exploitation in the study area during the Roman period and early migration period, as well as in the early Middle Ages, is an unexpected result. © Trustees of Boston University 2023.},

abstract = {Detailed knowledge on the past events of erosion and redeposition is necessary to assess the frequency and magnitude of soil degradation and to provide more complete data, among all, to calculate rainfall thresholds and to develop strategies for controlling erosion. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate reconstruction of erosion–sedimentation events in a gully system by combining analyses of 137Cs and 210Pb with dendrochronological dating in the same sediment profiles. We aimed to precisely determine the number and the age of erosion–sedimentation events, which led to the development of study deposits and to determine the type of erosion providing material for deposition in particular events. To this purpose, 136 soil samples and 62 roots and tree stems samples were collected in eight research profiles at the gully bottom. We compared the results obtained with the two methods. Isotope analysis allowed us to estimate more general age of sediments and the type of erosion that provided material for individual layers. Dendrochronology provided a more precise reconstruction of the age of soil degradation events. By combining both techniques, we determined rainfall events responsible for erosion and sedimentation in the studied gully since 1980s and a rainfall threshold of 60 mm day−1 for soil erosion and redeposition in the study area. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.},

abstract = {Zircon U-Pb SIMS dating combined with in-context (in thin section) monazite and xenotime U + Th-total Pb dating was used to clarify the Palaeozoic evolution of the ‘cold’ Chopok granite (Nízke Tatry Mountains; Slovakia). Four distinct zircon, monazite and xenotime age domains testify to a prolonged evolution from igneous formation to multi-stage metasomatism and hydrothermal overprinting. The geological interpretation of age patterns from ‘cold’ granites, expected to have low zircon saturation temperatures (<800 °C) and relatively high amounts of zircon inheritance, requires special care, especially for what concerns proper attribution of zircon inheritance and igneous growth ages. These issues can be resolved using zircon saturation temperatures (TZrn) as proxy for the amount of zircon inheritance in combination with the temperature differences between TZrn and the granite solidus. In this respect, the Chopok granite is an atypical ‘cold’ granite. Due to TZrn being substantially lower (ca. 80 °C ± 50 °C) than the granite solidus temperature, practically no zircon inheritance was found. The zircon age data indicates that the Chopok granite is a product of an Early Ordovician (475.8 ± 3.3 Ma) magmatic event, corresponding with the widespread Early Palaeozoic magmatism recorded throughout the European Variscan belt. This is further corroborated by phosphate mineral ages. The post-magmatic activity recorded in the U-Pb systematics of zircon and phosphates overgrowths can be related to the different phases of the evolution of the Variscan orogen: Early Carboniferous (ca. 352 Ma) metasomatism documents the main Variscan orogenic event, whereas the Permo-Triassic age (ca. 255 Ma) reflects thermo-tectonic activity associated with large-scale crustal extension, contemporaneous with the initial continental leading to the break-up of Pangea. © 2020 International Association for Gondwana Research},

abstract = {In the Odra and Osob³oga River valleys in the vicinity of the town of Krapkowice, a system of morphological levels is present which is exceptionally extensive compared to other such systems in southern Poland. The extent, origins and chronology of these levels have been the subject of many controversies. In the light of current research, the terraces, which are situated on average 14.5-13, 12-10, 8-6, 6-4 and 3-1 metres above the river level, were formed in the post-Wartanian interval. The main factor driving their development was erosion, which compensated for the effects of large-scale aggradation that had occurred during the anaglacial phase of the Odranian Glaciation (MIS 8) dated to 261 ±15 ka. The impact of climatic conditions on the trends towards fluvial erosion or accumulation was only of secondary importance. According to OSL dating, successive phases of vertical stabilisation of the valley floor occurred ~118.8 ±8.3, 87.7 ±5.7 and 42.0 ±2.0 ka. In the meantime, erosion intensified, which resulted in the formation of lower terrace levels. During the climatic minimum of the Upper Plenivistulian (21.5 ±1.5 ka), under conditions of the delivery of sheet-wash-generated sediment, the aggradation of distal reaches of the Odra River valley was locally marked. During the Late Vistulian and Holocene, erosive tendencies continued, which were reflected by the fact that the surfaces of subsequent inset alluvial fills were situated ever lower. In the light of dating results, it can be concluded that during the colder periods correlated with the Rederstall Stadial (MIS 5b) and with the Hasselo Stadial (MIS 3), a braided river was present in the river valleys examined, which was most probably accompanied by permafrost. During the Eemian Interglacial (MIS 5e), during the Late Vistulian Interstadials and in the Holocene, it was a meandering river. © 2020, Polish Geological Institute. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {This study presents the first zircon U-Pb LA-MC-ICP-MS ages and whole-rock Rb/Sr and Sm/Nd data from exotic blocks (Bugaj and Andrychów) from the Western Outer Carpathians (WOC) flysch. The CL images of the zircon crystals from both samples reveal typical magmatic textures characterized by a well-defined concentric and oscillatory growth zoning. A concordia age 580.1 ± 6.0 Ma of the zircons from the Bugaj sample is considered to represent the crystallization age of this granite. The zircon crystals from the Andrychów orthogneiss yield an age of 542 ± 21 Ma, interpreted as the uppermost Proterozoic, magmatic crystallization age of the granitoid protholith. The initial (at ca. 580 Ma) 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios of the Bugaj granitoids (0.72997 and 0.72874) are highly radiogenic, pointing to the assimilation of an older, possibly strongly Rb enriched source to the Bugaj melt. The Nd isotope systematics (ϵ Nd580 -1.4 and 0.4) also point to a significant contribution of such a distinct mantle source. On the basis of the sequence of magmatic events obtained from U-Pb zircon ages, we suggest that exotic mega blocks deposited to the WOC basins were related to the Brunovistulicum Terrane. They belong to the group of Vendian/Cambrian granitoids representing the latest, posttectonic expression of the Cadomian cycle. © 2018 J. Burda et al, published by Sciendo.},

abstract = {Assessment and management of mass-movement hazard in developing mountain areas is a significant human problem. It can only be resolved through identifying the background behind the processes, including their magnitude and frequency. However, catchment monitoring is rare and historical records are often fragmentary or absent. In such cases dendrochronology can be one of the most precise methods for dating past mass-movement events. Our study is intended to provide a tree-ring based discussion of hazards caused by mass movements in a developing high-mountain area. The goal is to estimate the frequencies and magnitudes of mass movements of differing origin and scale: large and smaller debris flows, and rockfalls, typically endangering the population of the Moxi basin. On the terraces and slopes of the Xiaohezi gully the ages of 30 spruce trees were determined indicating the date of the last large debris flow moulding terrace levels. On the Daozhao debris cone we determined the dates of the events of smaller debris flows wounding the stems of 43 alder trees. On the Nimatuo Study Site the dates of rockfalls injuring the stems of a sample of 15 alder trees were determined. The results allowed the recurrence intervals of the mass movements observed in each study site to be calculated. During the last 55 years large debris flows originating in the vast, high-elevation and glaciated Xiaohezi catchment occurred every 18 years. During the last 20 years smaller debris flows fed from the mid-sized and medium elevation Daozhao catchment occurred every 7 years. Rockfalls, with a very small and steep source area (Nimatuo Site) occurred every 2.85 years. In general, the level of mass-movement activity in the study area is high. Based on the results from three study sites representing typical mass-movement hazards, the densely inhabited main valley of the Moxi basin is affected by 40 large debris flows, hundreds of smaller debris flows and thousands of single rockfalls per century. The hazard affects as much as 27.07% of developed area of the Moxi basin. However, thanks to sustainable land use, the majority is affected by manageable, high frequency, but middle-to low-magnitude phenomena. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd},

abstract = {Many of Poland’s valleys resemble those of the Mala Panew and Liswarta (and their tributaries) in featuring the remains of old hydrotechnical infrastructure formerly used by gristmills, steel plants and sawmills. As the importance of water as their main source of energy declined, such earlier industrial plants were gradually closed down, with a steady process of deterioration of hydrotechnical infrastructure then set in train. Beavers were reintroduced into the catchments of the Mala Panew and Liswarta in the 1990s, with the rodents immediately commencing with the adaptation of anthropogenically-transformed habitats to better meet their needs. Against this background, research was conducted to determine: • the number of beaver sites in the river valleys in question, and especially the number within or near disused items of hydrotechnical infrastructure, • the ways in which beavers have “managed“ the infrastructural items in question, •the impact beavers’ activities have had on the environment in the valleys studied. The locations and functions of old items of hydrotechnical infrastructure were determined by reference to archival maps. To assess beavers’ activities, 6 sections of watercourse of lengths 0.5-7 km were selected, with locations of beaver dams and ponds, as well as other traces of activity by the animals, documented and described. With a view to findings being summarized, distinctions were drawn between various methods of adaptation of former hydrotechnical objects by beavers , i.e. 1 - dams built in the channels of regulated rivers, 2- dams built in culverts, 3 -former millrace/water channels (used by gristmills or ironworks) occupied and adapted, 4 -banks of retention ponds occupied, 5 -waters in river channels dammed and basins of old ponds flooded, 6 -banks of ponds serving fire-fighting purposes occupied, 7 -former pond dams restored. Beavers can adapt successfully to -and also themselves adapt -anthropogenically-transformed environments in river valleys. In this regard, the rodents were found to be more eager to occupy the tributaries of the Mala Panew and Liswarta than the rivers themselves. The valleys offer suitable conditions for beavers, given channels that are shallow (of 0.3-0.6 m), slightly sloping (2.2-6.7 m/km), with sandy or sandy-sludgy bottoms, as well as access to deciduous trees growing nearby. Along the Mala Panew and Liswarta themselves, beavers make use of side channels and millraces. Most numerous traces of beavers’ activity were to be observed along forested stretches of the Lenca and Olszynka Valleys, which are found to have been transformed by beavers along 28-35% of their lengths. The animals made instinctive use of relic items of hydrotechnical infrastructure, with an interesting case involving the “restoration” by beavers of old embankments of anthropogenic ponds on the Rów Kokocki and the Lenca. Above beaver ponds (on the Rów Kokocki) or between ponds (on the Olszynka and Lenca), reduced channel slope and increased channel sinuosity contribute to the creation of side channels. Along these sections, transport channels made by beavers are vulnerable to avulsion and the emergence of multi-channel sections of watercourses. © 2017, Polska Akademia Nauk. All rights reserved.},

The aim of the study was to reconstruct the history of ferrous metallurgy from (1) the remains of wooden historical buildings, (2) remains of charcoal kilns and (3) deposits from former smelter pond. Results show that Regolowiec smelting settlement existed already in the 17th century (at least several decades earlier than historical written sources suggest) and was later re-paired after destruction caused probably by floods. Charcoal used for iron smelting in the ironworks in Brusiek on the Mała Panew River was burnt at the turn of the 18th century. This is in accordance with historical sources indicating particular prosperity of the metallurgy in that period. Upstream of the ironworks in Brusiek in the first half of the 17th century a large pond existed flooding the floor of the Mała Panew valley.

abstract = {Large debris flows have destroyed the infrastructure and caused the death of people living in the Moxi Basin (Sichuan Province; Southwestern China). Inhabitants of the Moxi Basin live on the flat surfaces of debris-flow fans, which are also attractive for farming. During the monsoon season debris flows are being formed above the fans. Debris flows can destroy the houses of any people liv-ing within the fan surfaces. In order to prevent the adverse effects of flows, people plant alder trees (Alnus nepalensis) at the mouths of debris flow gullies running above debris flow fans. Alders are able to capture the debris transported during flow events. Trees are well adapted to surviving in con-ditions of environmental stress connected with abrupt transport and deposition of sediment from de-bris flows. Numerous wounds, tilting and bending of alder trees caused by debris flows only very rarely cause the death of trees. By dating scars and dating the time of alder tilting (through the analy-sis of annual rings), we have determined the frequency of debris flows occurring at the mouth of the Daozhao valley. In 1980-2012 within the studied debris-flow fan and the Daozhao gully, 2 large de-bris flow events occurred (1996; 2005) and some smaller events were probably recorded every 2-3 years. © 2013 Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland.},
